adamors··on Google will buy half the electricity from one of Finland's nuclear power plants
A nuclear reactor is takes years and years to build, this is again Europe selling it's sovereignty to big tech for some short term cash.
adamors··on iPhone Duo
What is a joke? Foldable phones have existed for years at this point, if anything Apple is catching up. And plenty of people want bigger phones.
adamors··on Felony charges for citizen deleting phone data at US Border
Tens of millions have voted for this 3 times in the past 10 years, it succeeded twice. This is not going away, half the voting population of the US wants to live under authoritarian rule and will do anything to take the whole country with them.
adamors··on AI companies destroy physical books – let's scan rare books before it's too late
They’re not giving anybody any samples lol
adamors··on Why a $154B CEO just endorsed stripping most Americans of voting rights
There’s no such thing for the billionaire class.
adamors··on Why a $154B CEO just endorsed stripping most Americans of voting rights
They were always capable of these thoughts, money just gave them access to actions as well. Money didn’t turn them extreme IMO, maybe more fearful about losing it.
adamors··on Jellyfin founder Andrew leaves team
It was $120 even a year ago (bought one in April of last year), the jump $750 is really weird.

adamors··on Please stop the AI confidence theater
> - I don't try to debug

Just today I wanted to add to my nvim setup some validation for Kubernetes YAML. Asked Claude why it wasn’t looking at schemas correctly. After 30 minutes of prompts and nudges, during which it went on multiple wild goose chases, I just gave up and did it myself.

Other times I did have more success but it’s not rare to encounter this infinite loop style drill-down, which ultimately wastes more time than if I did it myself from the beginning.

adamors··on PostgreSQL and the OOM killer: Why we use strict memory overcommit
I read this article about 3 weeks ago when this bit me. Really great write-up, some tricky details.
adamors··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
Yes they are, 6k is peanuts to a lot of people.
adamors··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
In Romania it's so bad that there are companies who will handle everything for you, even if technically the chamber of commerce has a digital interface as well. Everything is handled online and you get digitally signed papers in a reasonable amount of time.

This is probably the solution, an EU-wide company that has local offshoots and can handle the bureaucracy for a fee.

adamors··on Meta Pauses Employee-Tracking Program Following Internal Data Leak
It’s almost as if they were making a joke.
adamors··on The ability to regrow body parts is dormant in mammals, not lost
The exact same thing happened to me. I chopped off a good half a cm with an axe when splitting firewood about 5 years ago. After no less than 6 months there wasn’t any sign of the mutilation.
adamors··on Hey, n00b, we didn't hire you to complete tasks
The flip side of this is the "high performer" who is constantly refactoring legacy code because they can only understand code that they wrote. And then add overly DRY refactors all over the place that is a pain to then make specific again.
adamors··on Amazon CEO's talks with U.S. officials triggered crackdown on Anthropic models
But this doesn't just show that Anthropic is bad news, but essentially that every US based LLM provider is as well. This current administration is making completely random, wild decisions with entirely opaque reasoning.
adamors··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
Well since SpaceX will be included in the SP500 and Nasdaq100 you'll buy it even if you don't want it.
adamors··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2026)
[flagged]
adamors··on Disney erased FiveThirtyEight
Plenty tried, old Joe thought he’ll clutch it out again. People were trying to dissuade him from running in 2023 already.
adamors··on War game exposed U.S. vulnerability to low-tech warfare
Projection works up until someone calls the bluff, just like Iran did.
adamors··on The Whole Anthropic Kerfuffle
Yes, this is the main point, employees will have less and less leverage (I'm even seeing AI doing interviews now, good luck). Soon we'll be explaining to an AI why we aren't as productive as two weeks ago.
adamors··on Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%
There’s also Yanis Varoufakis’ recent book, Technofeudalism.
adamors··on I cancelled Claude: Token issues, declining quality, and poor support
It’s not ommited, OP clearly talks about editing Javascript.
adamors··on I am building a cloud
HN has had a hate boner for K8s for as long as I can remember.

In my experience, K8s is a million times better than legacy shit it is usually replacing. The Herokus, the Ansible soup, the Chef/Puppet soup before that etc. The legacy infra that was held together by glue and sweat that everybody was afraid to touch.

adamors··on Make Tmux Pretty and Usable
Select copies, what do you mean?
adamors··on Netflix Prices Went Up Again – I Bought a DVD Player Instead
To be perfectly honest, the seedbox provider had all of these installed and hooked into each other. I only had to add my various logins and configure some profiles. I would think most seedboxes offer a variation of this, so you’re not starting from scratch.
adamors··on Netflix Prices Went Up Again – I Bought a DVD Player Instead
I cancelled all my streaming, and replaced it with a €20 seed box w/ Plex + radarr/sonarr etc. Have everything I want (and nothing else) and movies/shows don't get pulled without me doing it. Won't be turning back anytime soon.

Physical still has the downside of needing space. I have space for books, but not much else.

adamors··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2026)
Thanks for this comment, I've applied a couple of times through WF and the results were the same (not as many times as you did but still). However, I did find a couple of companies through WF but then contacted a recruiter on Linkedin and that did lead to a call or two. YMMV.
adamors··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2026)
Same question as last month, I see this post in every thread since at least November, are you guys actually hiring or just collecting CVs?
adamors··on Some uncomfortable truths about AI coding agents
Exactly, this is like watching youtubers code, ie backseat coding. It’s easy to follow along but taking control midway is anything but, especially in a codebase that has been written by an agent and you don’t have any muscle-memory in.
